Default rancho with monroe????

I'm going to be upgrading my front struts, I have the Monroe load leveling shocks in the rear, And I'm very happy with the ride quality. I'm trying to decide what would be better for the front. Monroe or rancho struts.

This is going on my 2008 Dakota 4wd and the front end bounces like a dingy on the ocean, lol

Just looking for some input here.

Monroe are good oem replacement. Rancho's are a bit stiffer. I had Monroe's all the way around and was very happy. Others run rancho and are very happy as well. You can't go wrong with either because they both are way better than the factory junk.

Wow, I feel like the odd man out here. Rancho's are definitely the way to go. I would not go with Monroe's at all. The valving in sensatracs is not enough in my opinion. Honestly, if we could get stiffer front springs, a lighter sway bar, and rancho's, it would be the perfect setup.
